Biohazardous Waste. â refers to waste (e.g. body fluids or tissues) which has the risk of carrying human pathogens. Biohazardous Waste is usually generated at health care facilities or research facilities, and the term is used interchangeably with Medical Waste. â is the term OSHA uses to describe blood and body fluids and âOPIMâ (other potentially infectious material) as defined in the Bloodborne Pathogens regulation (BBP).
Nuclear waste. There are three main categories of radioactive waste. The most dangerous is 'high-level waste' (HLW) - the hot concentrated nitric acid solution that contains the dissolved spent fuel rods from the nuclear process (see Box 1) and is so radioactive that it generates large amounts of heat.ntermediate-level waste (ILW) also contains many long-lived radioactive elements, but they do not generate significant amounts of heat. ILW includes used reactor components and fuel casings. Finally, low-level waste (LLW) comprises mainly contaminated lab-waste such as gloves.
